The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow

AJ McKinnon famously sailed and rode his little dinghy 4,900 kilometres from North Wales to the Black Sea on a whim.

And his whimsical account of the journey became, in 2002, the unlikely bestseller, The Unlikely Voyage of the Jack to Crow.

But for some people, or maybe just one person, 4,900 kilometres is not enough.

AJ McKinnon got back into the Jack the Crow, or a Jack the Crow, starting another epic journey from where he finished the last one.

I have never studied, but oh gosh, I love it.

It's wonderful.

On The Year That Made Me, we're speaking with Sandy McKinnon, author of The Unlikely Voyage of the Jack to Crow and his new tome, Realms of Gold, which reveals the remarkable return of the Jack to Crow.

Sandy, the year that you've chosen as the year that made you comes from pretty early on.
